The beauty of dropping the money on a timer is that it gives you instant feedback, right there, shot to shot, with splits. I always set a delay, so you never know when it's going to signal. Push the button, and wait for the beep before you go. I think the other timer out there was by Competition Electronics. Not sure. It was a nice one, that's for sure. Timers make a tremendous difference in training.

There are a bunch of us here that are pretty quick, man, be it with rifle or pistol or shotgun - or on borrowed guns. You should see Larry shoot a pistol course. Or JB Matt shoot - anything he gets his hands on. Watching him shoot anything is both amazing and aggravating, at the same time. I just run a PACT Club Timer II for my stuff. Someone brought a new kind of timer out at the last Fall Shoot, and it was pretty sweet.

Greg sent me this a little while ago... Merry Christmas! A little early I know, but I have so many happy beautiful friends, I thought I'd get the ugly fuckers out of the way first. After careful consideration of your performance in 2018, I have decided to extend our friendship another 12 months. A little Christmas message for you. Not every flower can say love, but a rose can. Not every plant survives a thirst, but a cactus can. Not every retard can read, but look at you go, little buddy! Today you should take a moment and send an encouraging message to a fucked up friend, just as I have done. I don't care if you lick windows, or fuk farm animals. You hang in there cupcake, because you're fucking special to me, and you're my friend. Look at you smiling at your phone, you crayon eating motherfucker! Merry Christmas. Don't fuk it up. All the best in 2019. Lmao

My sentiments exactly, you bunch of savages and heathens.

Gotta say, in a bad way - you guys needs to get away from that shiit. Nobody is gonna twist a rod and tie it down on themselves, to stop an arterial bleed -you're already gonna be shocking out from blood loss - hypovolemic shock or psychosomatic shock. That's too many movements, and too much complicated shiit to go through, with sticks, and tying shiit down. I've said it before, and I'm saying it again, you need "simple" in application, when you're in a situation to really need a tourniquet. Don't complicate shiit with complicated shiit. For REAL, when you're dealing with blood loss, and stopping it. Go simple. You gotta face real life, here, men. Tourniquets are cool, if you have to put them on someone. You have all the calm and patience in the world, being that "first responder." Use their own blood and mark a "T" on their forehead, with the time that you applied it to them... Great First Responder stuff, right there. You can only rely on gross motor skills if you need to put that thing on yourself - or you die... You don't have two hands to apply a torniquet to yourself, unless it's a leg wound. You need to be able to apply a tourniquet with only one operational hand, and no more.

And LaRue has the MBT2S for $87 for a few more days, by Christmas. I've converted to the LaRue triggers, with the exception of the occasional Geissele Hi-Speed National Match trigger here and there. Gotta be a special build for those ones, though. LaRue for everything else - and they're all special.

Dead on the money, right there.

Sooooo... What recoil system are you running, then?...

Yep, the garlic, brother - that's what it is.

Toolcraft is never, ever a bad choice. Since the demise of the commercially-available DWilson BCGs a few years ago, the Toolcraft is about the only thing I go with now.

I offer that buy-back not very often - it's usually for the guys that are on the fence. Hey, I recommended it, and you don't like it - AND I had to talk you into it? You think it sucks, and I'll give you your money back - when you send it to me. That's just my word, man. I know what works - but if it didn't work for you, and I told you it would... I stand behing what I said, and I don't want you to be out anywhere, on anything. I think I'm just stubborn... That's the benefit of the Tubbs Flatwire - DPMS AND Armalite recoil systems... The Armalite EA1095 spring works for rifle and carbine 308ARs, but you will coil bind it if you use it in that screwed up 7.000" receiver extension with that shortass 2.500" buffer - that is ALWAYS too light... Don't care what the coil-bind specs say, I've done it. Bound one up, in that dumbass 7.000" experiment with the 2.500" shorty buffer. If I ran a rifle receiver extension on a .308AR, I'd run the EA1095 spring. My $0.02. Damn, I forgot - I have one .308AR with the rifle stock, and it DOES have the EA1095 spring in it... Set me back 8 bucks for it, too.

303 Stainless. Don't fall for anything less. Seeing lots of 304 stainless gas tubes being offered now - don't believe the hype on that shiit. 303 doesn't work-harden with heat - that's the very reason that 303 is the spec for a gas tube. More sulphur in it than 304. But whatever. Buy whatever you want, from whatever vendor you want. No matter what the quality. Or price. It's just a gas tube, right?... Off this gas tube soap box now...

That's just great. And I've got this .358 Yeti stuff up my ass right now, too... Oh, and 500 Blackout. Did I just say that? I'm pretty positive I did. 500 Blackout. Fuk me.

Damnit - I didn't need to hear that...

@Alan Waters, this was so good last weekend - I'm doing it again today. Unreal, brother, fantastic recipe. This pic is the 4 cans of fire roasted tomatoes and two LARGE red onions diced up (already mixed, plus one beer), plus all the seasonings (before I mixed them in there). The meat was browning, and almost ready to go in there, and the black beans have been getting worked over, overnight. This is an awesome chili, man - just great. This is a 7-qt oval crock pot, men - once you get the meat and beans in there, it'll fill the 7qt dude right up - this isn't a small recipe, keep that in mind before you do it.

Just measured 0.181" on the inside of a gas key on a BCG, and 0.179" on two different gas tubes, at the widest point on their ends. A 0.002" fit for the gas pressurization needed, on two pieces that are slamming together from inches apart, with violence, isn't too bad. Just my opinion. The taper on both pieces makes sense, I think, considering that. I fit piston ring end gap for piston rings in engines at 0.004" per inch of bore, on normally aspirated engines. Up to 40% more ring end gap on turbo engines. For piston-to-cylinder clearance, I go for 0.003" in difference. They make power. Same kinda thing here.

Flex in the barrel system? It's flared, too, in diameter, before the taper down. The gas key on the BCG body is also chamfered. Big batch of them, shows it quite well.

This idiot just got referred by Trump as the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Which was against the recommendation made by Mad Dog Mattis... This is another (secondary) reason Mad Dog resigned. This administration is fucking up by the numbers, right now. From the top down. The VERY top.

If it comes in and you think it's screwed up for some reason - I'll give you my buy-back guarantee. I'll buy it from you for what you paid, including what you had to pay for shipping - and shipping to me.

They are badass, brother. Completely.

That's a typo - DSG sells the real stuff, man. They won't screw you on parts. I've been shopping from them since 2010 - they are beyond legit. That's the part number you need - and they list the part number. They won't fail you.

Excellent - you've now been "enabled" - but you probably were before you even got here... Where the hell are you finding parts for this thing? As soon as you mentioned it, I started looking into it, and the primary manufacturer is OOS on everything...

One is a reman, though... I still can't believe how they wrote that up, and completely took care of you. That's just badass.

That came out as a damn nice looking rifle, man! Great job on that!
